Perhaps these six official bootlegs are a test. If these downloade shows are sold well, there will be a new pack of 6 or more. I don't know but hope it will be.
I agree but who knows, is it a test for next selling way when CDs area will be over and music will get music only by downloading. When they will be really too old to get records and shows, selling their archives will be the deal.Quote

This is good question. It would be intersting to know how much these shows actually sell. Not that it would matter to the Stones directly, but for example, those instances, in this case Google Music, who put their money on it. As I understand the deal was that Google Music paid the whole thing, that is, gave tHe Stones a certain nice sum of money to provide these shows for them to release (Stonesarchive was just an extra for international market). Did their invenstment in this sense was worth of that? The pessimist in me says that it was not - and to be even more cynical, I think Google did the whole thing mostly in PR sense, and not to make big money (The Stones generally are good in selling their their brand).
I don't think there is not much money involved in the first place, so I really doubt the real interest by The Stones to do it 'by themselves' from now on - they need a partner to make it worthy for them.

This is not noticeably better than Hampton '81, or Still Life. You get the same songs on Hampton '81. This is not only stupid, it's a RIP OFF.

For a fan, I think it's pleasant to have the US version and the European one of this tour. Both are good to me.
We don't have that many soundboard boots or pro shot videos of the 82' European tour while in US you have a huge choice !
Good point...I'm biased as I was at this gig
But as a product you're paying almost twice as much for what is almost song for song an exact replica of Hampton '81, with no noticeable appreciation in quality. In other words, We've Been Cheated.
Man please shut the fvck up. With reasoning like this you have been cheated at every show you've been to since '69 as they have played the same 10 songs at least at each show.
For 10 bucks (which is NOTHING for an official release of close to 2.5 hrs) you get a show from one of the worst documented tours (only 1970 is worse documented). This tour does not have any official release, and only half a mono soundboard from Italy and the last dozen shows from Wembley, also in mediocre soundboad quality.
You get a different tour, with a different sound and with a different band. This time no Ian MacLagan and Ernie Watts, but Chuck Leavell, Ian Stewart, Bobby Keys and Gene Barge, the latter playing different arrangements.
For many poeple the 1982 tour was their first shows they saw -and now they can finally buy an official release show. And you say rip-off: many people who saw the 1982 tour have been shelling out big bucks for terrible sounding audience recordings, and you dare to say 10 bucks is a rip-off.
Man, you really don't have a clue.

One new bootleg a month? Nice.
Indeed. Would like to see them carry pace that all through next year.

Who knows what 2013 will bring ?
Ideally, there should be more deluxe edition cds.
However, it would be nice to see deluxe editions of Let It Bleed, GHS, Sticky Fingers, Tattoo You, with live concerts on discs 2 and 3, a bit like Bowie on Station to Station.

I think it's great to have this 1982 show, in great sbd quality. Sure, i'd like to have shows from other periods as well, but again an previously unreleased show in full is great!
